以西结书 38
1 耶和华的话临到我说：
Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
2 “人子啊，你要面向玛各地的歌革，就是罗施、米设、土巴的王发预言攻击他，
“You human, turn and face Magog, the country where Gog [is the king]. He is [also] the ruler of [the nations of] Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy about [the terrible things that will happen to] him,
3 说主耶和华如此说：罗施、米设、土巴的王歌革啊，我与你为敌。
and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
4 我必用钩子钩住你的腮颊，调转你，将你和你的军兵、马匹、马兵带出来，都披挂整齐，成了大队，有大小盾牌，各拿刀剑。
[It will be as though] I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and bring you [to Israel]—you and all of your army, [including your] horses and men carrying weapons who ride the horses, and many other soldiers carrying large shields and small shields, all of them carrying swords.
5 波斯人、古实人，和弗人，各拿盾牌，头上戴盔；
[Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
6 歌篾人和他的军队，北方极处的陀迦玛族和他的军队，这许多国的民都同着你。
An army from Gomer [north of Israel] will come, and an army from Togarmah far north [of Israel] will come. Armies of many nations will accompany you.’
7 “那聚集到你这里的各队都当准备；你自己也要准备，作他们的大帅。
[Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
8 过了多日，你必被差派。到末后之年，你必来到脱离刀剑从列国收回之地，到以色列常久荒凉的山上；但那从列国中招聚出来的必在其上安然居住。
At some future time, I will command you to lead those armies to attack [Israel], a country whose [buildings] have been rebuilt after [they were destroyed in] wars. Their people will have been brought back from many nations [to live again] on the hills of Israel, which had been deserted for a long time. They had been brought back from [other] nations and will be living peacefully.
9 你和你的军队，并同着你许多国的民，必如暴风上来，如密云遮盖地面。”
You and all those armies from many nations will go up to Israel, advancing like [SIM] a big storm. Your army will be like a huge cloud that covers the land.
10 主耶和华如此说：“到那时，你心必起意念，图谋恶计，
But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
11 说：‘我要上那无城墙的乡村，我要到那安静的民那里，他们都没有城墙，无门、无闩，安然居住。
You will say [to yourself], “My [army] will invade a country where the villages do not have walls around them. We will attack people who are peaceful and do not suspect/think [that they will be attacked]. Their towns and villages do not have walls with gates and bars.
12 我去要抢财为掳物，夺货为掠物，反手攻击那从前荒凉、现在有人居住之地，又攻击那住世界中间、从列国招聚、得了牲畜财货的民。’
So [it will be easy for] us to attack the people who are living again in those towns that were previously destroyed. They are people who have been gathered from many countries [where they had lived for many years], people who now live safely in their land with all their livestock and other possessions. They are living in the country that is in the middle of the most important countries (OR, [that they think is] [IRO] the most important country) in the world. Our soldiers will take away [DOU] all their valuable possessions.”
13 示巴人、底但人、他施的客商，和其间的少壮狮子都必问你说：‘你来要抢财为掳物吗？你聚集军队要夺货为掠物吗？要夺取金银，掳去牲畜、财货吗？要抢夺许多财宝为掳物吗？’
[Then people of] Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and nearby villages will come and say to you, “Are you gathering all your soldiers in order to [attack Israel and] take away all their silver and gold? [Do you plan] to take away their livestock and all their other valuable possessions [DOU]?”’
14 “人子啊，你要因此发预言，对歌革说，主耶和华如此说：到我民以色列安然居住之日，你岂不知道吗？
Therefore, you human, prophesy about Gog and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: At that time, when my people of Israel are living safely, you will certainly think about that.
15 你必从本地，从北方的极处率领许多国的民来，都骑着马，乃一大队极多的军兵。
So you will come from your place far north [of Israel], with the armies of many [other] nations, all riding horses, a huge army.
16 歌革啊，你必上来攻击我的民以色列，如密云遮盖地面。末后的日子，我必带你来攻击我的地，到我在外邦人眼前，在你身上显为圣的时候，好叫他们认识我。
You will march toward my Israeli people, and [your soldiers] will cover the land like a huge cloud. Gog, I will bring your army to attack the country that belongs to me, but [what I do] for you will show the people of other nations that I am holy.
17 主耶和华如此说：我在古时借我的仆人以色列的先知所说的，就是你吗？当日他们多年预言我必带你来攻击以色列人。”
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to Gog: In past years, when I gave messages to my servants, the prophets [in Israel], there were messages [RHQ] about you. At that time, they prophesied for [many] years that I would bring your [armies] to attack my people.
18 主耶和华说：“歌革上来攻击以色列地的时候，我的怒气要从鼻孔里发出。
[So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
19 我发愤恨和烈怒如火说：那日在以色列地必有大震动，
I will be very furious, and to show that I am angry, there will be a great earthquake in Israel, [where your armies will be].
20 甚至海中的鱼、天空的鸟、田野的兽，并地上的一切昆虫，和其上的众人，因见我的面就都震动；山岭必崩裂，陡岩必塌陷，墙垣都必坍倒。”
The fish in the sea, the birds, the wild animals, and the animals/creatures that crawl on the ground, and all the people on the earth will tremble because of what I [am doing]. Mountains will fall down, cliffs will crumble, and walls everywhere will fall to the ground.
21 主耶和华说：“我必命我的诸山发刀剑来攻击歌革；人都要用刀剑杀害弟兄。
Gog, on all the mountains in the country that belongs to me I will cause your soldiers to fight against each other with their swords.
22 我必用瘟疫和流血的事刑罚他。我也必将暴雨、大雹与火，并硫磺降与他和他的军队，并他所率领的众民。
I will punish [MTY] you [and your soldiers] with plagues and murders [MTY]. And I will send down [from the sky], on you and your troops that have come from many nations, huge amounts of rain and hail and burning sulfur.
23 我必显为大，显为圣，在多国人的眼前显现；他们就知道我是耶和华。”
By doing that, I will cause [the people of] many nations to know that I am very great and holy, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
